Bought BTC for $13 - Daniel Fraga: The pioneer of Bitcoin in Brazil

Daniel Fraga. A name that resonates in the Brazilian crypto world. Digital activist. Fierce critic of the government. He was one of the first to see something in Bitcoin when no one else did. He bought when it was only 13 dollars. Crazy at that time. It seems he had a crystal ball.

His story took off in early 2010. A YouTube channel. He talked about anarcho-capitalism. Freedom. And how useless he thought the government was. His videos had no filter. He attacked powerful politicians. It's not hard to imagine that this would bring him trouble.

For him, Bitcoin was not just money. It was freedom. A form of resistance. A way to say "no" to the system. In his videos, he explained it with passion. Bitcoin as a shield against inflation. As an alternative to traditional money. And people were starting to listen.

Who buys a digital coin for 13 dollars? Fraga did. Quite risky, anyone would say. But time proved him right. The value went up. And it went up more. Bitcoin became something big. And he saw it before almost everyone.

2017 was strange. After fights with authorities and trials, he just... disappeared. Nobody knows where he is. There are theories, of course. Many. But certainties? None. His absence created a myth.

The legacy lives on. It inspired a whole generation of Brazilians to explore cryptocurrencies. To question the financial system. Even without being present, his shadow is long. His vision, respected. A pioneer who saw the future when it was barely a glimmer on the horizon.
